Traded Aaron Black [traded to Geelong for pick 92]

[The Joker]

"Aaron ... whats his name?"

"I think he had an opportunity to come to this club that he didn't want to come to."

They are the words i want to hear come from Ross' mouth, maybe a "heck him" too!

Finding his form and his marking groove this year after 2 years in the wilderness. His work rate and effort in the VFL has been excellent this year and he is appreciating having Mason Wood, Sam Durdin and Majak around him for support.

Was hard for him last year playing for Nth Ballarat and being pretty much the number 1 target inside forward 50, with absolute dog s**t delivery.

If his from continues its upward trend he will find a new home next year I'd Imagine.

 

[Lach72]

I'd look at him for a third/4th

 

[Balony_pony16]

Is he even playing well in the twos? Id target Mason Wood before him

 

[Freomaniac]

Again... I rather wait next season. Let him do his 8 years. North get a 2nd round pick. Freo get him in a 3 year deal.

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

would surely be close to getting delisted

 

[Damon_3388]

Seems a bit like a John Anthony type. Had one good year, got found out the next, probably never really be AFL standard again.

If he's not even doing well in the VFL, I think his ship might have sailed.

Hurt his shoulder badly at the start of 2014.

Played injured for the entire year. Lost confidence.

Was playing for North Ballarat, who were filth, up forward as the no.1 target.

Is playin far better footy this season.

There is still a chance for him.

He is in fact

I was thinking why I didn't hear much about him in 2014 after he had a Good 2013.

 

[the big lebowski]

Another standout VFL performance.

4 Goals including the match winner. Starting to hit his stride again.

 

[HBF]

Agreed.
Had one good year and has done nothing since.

 

[Freoforever86]

Black for rookie pick 77?

Done

 

[isamedthegiants]

Give him the nickname "face" and send him to Frankston?

 

[TW Sherrin]

in north terms he's a baby with another 10 years in front of him.

 

[giantroo]

17 goals for the year so far. 2nd in the Frosty Miller Award.

 

[Kcrack]

in north terms he's a baby with another 10 years in front of him.

Our players generally peak around 33 so this sounds spot on.

 

[benbanjo]

taking offers!

 

[Moist Biscuit]

taking offers!

One of Tendai Mzungus dreadlocks?

2 and you got urself a deal!

 

[The Falcon Strike]

I'd look at him for a third/4th

In the rookie draft?

 

[raffrox]

Wonder what would have happened if Black had come to Freo before he signed his last contract. It was a really bad call in the end.

Given the forwards we've had he would have been given every chance.

It depends if he injuries his shoulder at Freo or not. Was a great player before he got injured, and never been any good since.

Yep. Agree with this. Sometimes a player can get an injury, and they never come back the same. It's a shame, but seems like this is what has happened. Not worth Freo trading anything significant for him, esp given we'll be struggling to get our picks sorted and the McCarthy trade done as it is.
